[QUOTE="ClassicIDI, post: 1506261, member: 1330"] Ok so I think I'm ready to take the leap into a 6.7 I've had 7.3's for years and love them to death but they don't tow my trailer how I'd hope. Mostly on the brakes. My trailer is a 40ft enclosed that put an early bronco and jeep in and tow all over the Rockies and occasionally out of state to Cali and even Tennessee Kentucky. It weighs right at 20k with a 5000lb pin weight. Current truck is bone stock e99 7.3 zf6 4x4 cclb single rear wheel. Does fine on the up hills but is a struggle to keep slowed down. 1st gear and alot of brakes. I know I couldn't panic stop it if I had too which is my problem. So I'm looking at two trucks #1 2015 f450 4x4 cclb xl work truck. Not cab and chassis though it's a truck. Power windows but that's it. It has 90k on it. One owner, Service records every 3k since new. Pulled an oasis and it's only been in twice. Once for a map sensor and PCM replacement and the other for a tsb. It came from South Dakota and has seen dirt roads alot, but no rust. Has a gooseneck hitch that's clearly been used alot. It's in excellent shape. Drives perfect runs great. I like it. Truck #2 2016 f350 cclb, single rear wheel 4x4, lariat fully loaded.40k on it, one owner (one of my customers) never towed heavy been used mostly around town for his handyman business. Again great shape nice truck I like too. Never been back to Ford since new. I have a daily driver so I don't drive the truck alot. Mostly some around town stuff and hauling trailers locally. Occasionally home Depot runs ect and then I tow that beast of a trailer 4-5 times a year. I know the 450 is best for that but the miles on it scare me a bit and I'm giving up the creature comforts the 350 has plus dealing with a dually which I don't really want, other then for the 4-5 times a year I have the trailer. I run a small shop locally and do all my own work but I'm trying to buy a newer truck simply because I don't have time to work on my 7.3 anymore and I think a newer truck (either one) will tow the trailer better. Both trucks cost the same. 40k each Opinions? Thanks David Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
